The vehicle finance business, commencing in November 2017, lends for purchase of used or new commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles and two-wheelers. Vehicle finance credit exposure stood at Rs 14.30 crore end December 2017.

Housing finance comprises two business lines of affordable housing finance that commenced in September 2017, and retail housing finance that started in March 2018 and operates through wholly owned subsidiary IndoStar Home Finance. The housing finance credit exposure stood at Rs 14.59 crore end December 2017.

The corporate lending business operated from the registered and corporate office, while retail operations spanned to 71 branches across India end February 2018. To grow the retail operations, the 100th branch was opened in Vadodara, Gujarat, on 6 April 2018. The distribution network includes 548 personnel in in-house sales team and 949 third-party direct sales associates (DSAs) and other third-party intermediaries.

The average cost of borrowings has been consistently moderating from 11.9% in FY 2015 to 9.1% in nine months of FY2018. The capital adequacy ratio is strong at 31.6%. The low leverage levels and high capital adequacy give significant headroom to grow business.

The Offer and the Objects

The initial public offer (IPO) is to collect around Rs 1840 crore by issuing 3.228 crore shares at the lower band of Rs 570 per share (face value Rs 10 per share) and Rs 1844 crore by issuing 3.224 crore shares at the upper band of Rs 572 per share. The issue consists of a fresh issue of equity shares (1.224 - 1.228-crore shares) aggregating up to Rs 700 crore and offer for sale (OFS) of two crore equity shares aggregating up to Rs 1140-1144 crore.

The OFS comprises an offer aggregating 1.85 crore shares by promoter Indostar Capital and 0.15 crore share by other selling shareholders. The issue is to be made through the book-building process and will open on 09 May 2018 and will close on 11 May 2018.

The net proceeds from the fresh issue will go to augmenting the capital base to meet future capital requirements. Further, there will be the benefits of listing of the equity shares on the stock exchanges, enhancement of the brand name and creation of a public market for equity shares in India.

Total credit exposure recorded a CAGR of 30%, revenue 31% and Pat 24% between FY2013 to FY2017, underpinned by the strong net interest margins that improved from 6% in FY2015 to 6.9% in the nine months of FY2018. Returns on average assets stood at 3.8%, returns on average equity at 10.9%, the debt-to-equity ratio at 1.78x and capital adequacy ratio at 31.6% in the nine months of FY2018.

Corporate lending, which accounts for 76.8% of the total lending, is considered as relatively risky and low-growth segment compared with retail loans.

Recently expanded into vehicle and housing finance. These businesses need to be run successfully.

The growth rate slowed down in the last two years. Credit exposure was up only 23%, revenues 12% and Pat 10% in FY 2017. The growth rates in revenues slowed down to 9% and Pat 4% if the nine-month of FY 2018 figures are annualized.

Gross NPAs jumped from 0.2% in FY 2016 to 1.4% in FY 2017 and further to 1.7% end December 2017.

The exposure to the real estate sector accounts for 41.6% of the total lending, followed by financial services at 10.8%, poultry products 6.9%, digital cable 3.5% and energy 2.3%. Most of these are considered high-risk segments.

The corporate lending business, particularly the real estate loan portfolio, is significantly dependent on operations in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and comprised 93.9% of the real estate loans disbursed end December 2017.

Third-party service providers are engaged for certain parts of operations including the valuation of assets and legal services, DSAs and other third-party intermediaries. The agreements with them do not provide for any exclusivity. They can work with other lenders, including competitors.

Nearly 11.2% end December 2017 and 17.2% end March 2017 of the total credit exposure was unsecured.
